A debt management plan is an informal debt management arrangement between your creditors and yourself. You agree to pay what you can reasonably afford towards the debts you owe. This agreement is usually kept in place until the debts are paid off in full. In return your creditors may agree to freeze interest and other charges provided you stick to the agreement.

The arrangement process is handled by a debt management company. They work with you to put together your proposal to your creditors. After they send the DMP proposal to your creditors, they will deal with the responses received. Your creditors may accept your proposal, reject it, or propose changes. The debt management company will discuss any proposed changes with you so that you may decide whether to accept them or not. An example of a potential modification might be if a creditor believes you have allowed too much or too little to cover your household expenses.

Once agreement has been reached with your creditors you will make a single monthly payment to the debt management company. They will distribute that DMP payment to your creditors on your behalf, and deal with any correspondence or calls.

Thereafter a management fee of 15% of future payments would be charged to cover the costs of receiving your payment, paying your creditors, and any contact with you and your creditors.
